I noticed that you updated to Gnome3. I doubt that Gnome3 vs Gnome2 would make the difference for my problem. However, I do not see Gnome3 in the Package Manager or Software Manager. How did you install it?

Thanks, xircon, but I think I'll stay with Gnome 2.30.2 for now. Don't want to add another variable to my Lazarus issue.By the way, you might want to point tinchoz in the right Gnome3 direction. (viewtopic.php?f=198&t=86271)
